These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure 
that you understand them all before installing or using this 
appliance. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure 
about any of the meanings of these warnings contact the Customer 
Care Department.
Prior to Installation
• Check the refrigerator/freezer for transport damage. Under no 
circumstances should a damaged appliance be installed! In the event 
of damage, please contact your retailer.
Installation
 This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it. 
 It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this 
product in any way.
 Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply 
cable. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a cable 
available from your local Service Force Centre.
 Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the 
back of the fridge/freezer. A damaged power plug may overheat and 
cause a fire.
 If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. There 
is a risk of electric shock or fire. 
 Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried 
out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
 Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Whenever possible, the 
back of the appliance should be close to a wall, but leaving the 
required distance for ventilation, as stated in the installation 
instructions.
 The appliance should be left for 2 hours after installation before it is 
turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant 
circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of 
environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
 During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain 
that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become 
damaged.

Installation
Installation Location
The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance is affected by 
the ambient temperature.
The appliance should therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature 
corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is 
designed.
The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is 
located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for 
each climate classification:
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following 
minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:
– for electric cookers 3 cm;
– for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.
If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is requi-
red between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.
Climate classificationfor an ambient temperature of
SN+10 to +32 °C
N+16 to +32 °C
ST+18 to +38 °C
T+18 to +43 °C
